The First Step
Story
There's not much story to this one, because it was one of those rare songs that sprang full-formed.When I do it live, I play an introduction that's really a separate piece, as yet unnamed. The introductory part hasn't adapted well to recording, so it looks like it won't be on the album.
Lyrics
And so I wake, a travelerOn a friendly shore
Laughing in the waves
The sky is free from all storms
El Corazon
On the horizon
How could I live for any more?
Music brings a feeling
Of eternal truth
Rhythm in the words
Is the pulse of our youth
Then with a leap
For a moment we’re free
Though it will be our last move
|
Sunshine diving down to stop Above the ground Breaking out of prism To fly again |
Rain falling through rock Springing out of age |
Every moment brings another change Falling to the clouds |
They live in fairy castles
And they come out at night
In the corner of your eye
With liquid skin and clothes white
Then with a touch
They lift us up
Never to return
To return
In birth
In birth
